    You are answering a comment explaining why this is bullshit. “Gurus” are sufficiently rare to have other kinds of surveillance.

    For some reason in every bad event there are plenty of people thinking evil is stupid.

      What I’m trying to say is said gurus will build something that the masses can use (to the extent of the masses that know what Threema and Briar are).

          Yes, and this will affect everyone. Which is why I’m hopeful that organisations like the EFF, the TOR browser’s foundation, Graphene OS and the general Android community comes up with something that will prevent this. I hope this will push for greater efforts in obfuscation of traffic from TOR, I2P, Freenet, Wireguard and the like along with better education amongst the general population.

          You could call me naive though, I suppose. Perhaps I expect too much

            Police checks your phone and finds the banned piece of software.

            Or your ISP detects traffic from something which is not reported by the backdoor on your phone.

            There are so many ways.

            There is no technological solution to a power problem. Power solutions to power problems include riots, revolutions, assassinations …
